Walking Toward Eternity: Series Two - Engaging the Struggles of Your Heart

Walking Toward Eternity - Engaging the Struggles of Your Heart
Walking Toward Eternity: Engaging the Struggles of Your Heart is another masterful study put together by Jeff and Emily Cavins. Where Series One focused on positive aspects in the Christian life, such as love and forgiveness, Series Two focuses on negative aspects in our lives, such as envy and anger. The format is the same for Series Two, so if you have taken a Cavins course before, you'll feel right at home. If you have not, it is very approachable and the learning curve is not steep. The format of the study consists of four days of journaling, reading Scripture, and praying.

Day 1 - You focus on the meaning of the particular struggle/obstacle in your spiritual life, i.e., envy.
Day 2 - You look at how God views this obstacle and why it is important to get it in check in your life.
Day 3 - You examine steps and Scripture on how you can overcome this struggle.
Day 4 - You select the Scripture that spoke to you the most this week and pray using Lectio...

Journal Not Included
A necessary part of this package is the journal. Now I need to buy the journal to use the product and I have not been able to find it so far.

Lazy Town: Super Sports Show W/Fitness Dvd

dance dance dance
my child loves sports and lazy town so this was perfect maybe just not as long as he would have liked

Good Show
My kids just love Lazy Town and this movie seems to be my kids favorite they can watch it even the whole day if I let them do it, this show keeps them very active and motivated for exercise.

Sad that this is cancelled
My kids love Lazy Town and I love that the show talks about good eating and exercise. I'm bummed that the show is no longer airing, and it's difficult to find DVD's of past episodes.

Hakuoki: Record of the Jade Blood Season 2

A Great series hardly anyone heard of.
Hakuoki is a historically based series. The Shinsengumi are the main characters, including Saito Hajime of Rurouni Kenshin fame. I like this series a lot and wish that it had had much more support. The graphics are typical of samurai anime, but the historical info and geography is accurate. The stories are supported by historic fact and as an American who cannot read Japanese, this is as close to history and entertainment as we are going to get. Try it, despite some fluff, you will like the story and the characters.

Love this Anime
Ok, first off, I love the Japanese voice acting better than the English voice acting. I don't feel all the English voices fit all the characters. This season is very dramatic and sad and there are a lot of battles. Honestly there is nothing wrong with it containing a lot of history in the anime. You can take advantage of actually learning something while you enjoy a good anime. Everyone has their preferences but I think a lot of people that watch these kinds of anime and don't like them, way over exaggerate to try to get people to not buy them. So if you read a review that just totally rips the anime apart and tells you not to buy, makes sure to read reviews from others too and you can also go on sites like youtube and view scenes and samples from the anime. Don't just base your decisions or opinions on what one or two people who are clearly over-dramatizing the few issues with the anime and really try to do more research and form an opinion of your own that way.
One thing to...

Incredible Fights Great Heartache At The End A Very Good Samurai Series To Own
While the second set of the series will have us see the final conflict and the fat of the Shinsengumi you will also have the growing romance that's happening become more dramatic as well. The series is an incredible under looked one that deserves more credit then it got and hopefully more people will start to know about the series. One thing if you dislike ambiguous or a questionable ending then this might annoy you somewhat as while most of the series questions are answered there are a few left open ended so it's a little mixed with the ending in general. Again the animation and voice cast were great and if you like action in your anime then no worries as you'll get a decent dose here so if you already have the first set then the second is an obvious must have...

Veronica Mars: The Complete Third Season

The day the CW killed Veronica Mars (no spoilers)
Today the CW officially cancelled the best show on television (understandably, some would say, due to abysmally low ratings). There lingers a chance that the series might be revitalized in a different form, but the hammer has officially fallen. Veronica Mars is unceremoniously over.

Season 3 was the first (and last) season of the show to air on the fledgling CW network. It took a different approach to storytelling than seasons 1 and 2, featuring two separate mystery arcs and a number of one-episode mysteries, rather the season-long affairs for which the show had become known and loved. Despite the change, season 3 works as excellent, intriguing television. The writing is witty and the acting in sharp, as before.

The creator of the show, Rob Thomas, once heard the series described as "Chinatown meets Heathers." That's a perfect description. I would say it also owes heavily to Twin Peaks. Chinatown happens to be my all-time favorite movie. I'm a noir junky, and...

Regardless of a mixed season, S3 DVD delivers on extras (finally!)
Heads-up: This review is for the S3 DVD set as a DVD set, and not an editorial about the quality of Season 3. (For the record, I'd give most S3 episodes a solid 4-stars) This review is more for the VM fans who don't need to be "sold" on the series, but are deciding whether to shell-out $45 for the DVDs, given that the last 2 DVD sets were pretty skimpy on the extras.

The Season 3 DVD set, while it still doesn't have commentaries (not everyone is as chatty as Matt Groening and Co., I guess), it finally includes a few substantial behind-the-scenes extras, most notably, a 90-minute (or so) discussion with Rob Thomas, who walks us through clips and explains his choices. Very episode commentary-like, just more efficient-- you go through a lot of good clips from the whole season.

Chapters from the RT commentary I especially liked were on favorite guest characters, favorite pairings (Veronica and her dad; VM and Logan; VM and Duncan was not included here,...

Third season not a charm
While the first season of Veronica Mars will always be one of my favorite seasons of any show, the latter years just cannot compete. I found the second season too convoluted, and I thought Veronica's likability was starting to fade. The third season, however, is much too simplified. And the worst offense? Veronica Mars, the title character, becomes a complete Mary-Sue. Her sleuthing skills are nowhere near the vicinity of season one, yet everyone falls in love with her and superior "gift." Her college professor wants to vouch for her for an FBI internship, and the college dean writes a glowing letter of recommendation. She's able to stay on top of her college grades while working cases and cooking dinner for her father, and she requires no time or adjustment to do so. And not only does she have Logan Echolls madly in love with her and willing to do anything to protect her, but now we have the annoying character of Piz (Wallace's college roomie) following after her...

Tracks: Volume XIX, Episode 2

Great series, but don't watch if you have Prime
Free Prime viewing for 18 episodes and last four are $4.99 for each part of a two part episode? Not cool Amazon.

Great show
I found this series by accident and have seen every episode. I have found many series that are produced in England and they are as good as those we have here in the States and some are even better.

Still well done one after so many years
I am not really enjoying some of the side story lines, but it is nice to see Mike stepping up to parenting after neglecting it for so many years. It is nice to see so much growth in a show.

Yo Gabba Gabba: There's a Party W/Fitness Dvd

A little misleading by my son didn't care....
It's OK. Nice for a change of format and a good preview of what a live show looks like. Everything is pretty much as you would expect and my 21-month-old wears himself out doing all the activities back to back. They kept the songs similar enough to the originals and reenacted familiar sketches; that kind of repetition may be annoying to us but it's exactly what preschool and under need to feel secure when they're looking for patterns in the world.

I got the impression from the cover that the second DVD would be the usual promo-DVD of "Here's what else you can watch!" That's true. But I also got the impression each episode would be kind of like a Dancey Dance thing. That's not. They're threaded together with a common theme of "activity", but only a few of them inspire participation.

I'm giving it a rating based on what my son thinks minus our shared disappointment in the bonus DVD.
